Where to run with people in Toronto

• The waterfront trail

  The Martin Goodman Trail runs along the lake. Flat, scenic and easy to plan a distance on.

• High Park loops

  Rolling hills and trails, good for a tempo run or a longer weekend loop.

• The Beltline Trail

  A shaded former rail line in midtown, quieter than the waterfront.

• Don Valley trails

  Ravine paths that feel far from downtown, good for longer easy runs.

• A Toronto Islands run

  Take the ferry over for a car-free run with skyline views.

Tips for meeting up

• Put your pace (per km) and distance in the post so people can match you.
• Pick a clear meeting point, like a park entrance or a subway exit.
• Training for a race, like the Toronto Waterfront Marathon in October? Say so and find someone on the same plan.

Questions people ask

How do I find a running buddy in Toronto?

Post a run with your pace, distance and meeting point, or join one nearby. Someone waiting for you is the best reason to actually show up.

What if I'm slower than everyone?

Look for posts at your pace, or post your own. Many runs are easy-pace and conversational.

Can we run every week?

Yes. Hosts can set a hangout to repeat weekly, so a regular running group keeps going.

Is it safe?

Meet somewhere public, tell a friend where you're going, and trust your gut. On HangSimply the host chooses who joins, the exact spot is only shared with people going, and you can block or report anyone in one tap.
